How Can A Cross Change YOUR Life?
As long as you're talking about the cross of Jesus, you're talking about power that can make all things new - including you.
As we all know it is sin that separates us from God, our Creator. Romans 3:23 teaches us that all have sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God. God sent Jesus unto man to become an atonement for the sin of man. He has shown us how to live perfectly. He was crucified on the cross, died and was raised up again to life three days later - as was prophesied. He now sits at the right hand of the Father and has sent the Holy Spirit to all of us who believe in Him (Jesus). Romans 10:9 teaches us that if we confess with our mouths Jesus is Lord, and believe in our hearts that God has raised Him from the dead, we will be saved! Romans 6:23 teaches us the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. 2Cor.5:17 tells us when we come to Christ we become a new creation, the old is gone, the new has come.
If you have never met Jesus or asked Him to be the Lord of your life, it's really easy. He is as close as the mention of His name. If you wish to be reconciled to God, just believe and say aloud, "Forgive me Father, I am a sinner". Jesus, I know you paid my debt for sin on that cross, send me your Holy Spirit so that we could be "one" with the Father in Heaven forever. Amen.
Now it is important to read the Bible everyday and pray always. In prayer, we talk to God, and thru scripture he talks with us. Once you absorb the word into your heart, those same words become the voice from which you speak and live, through faith.
